A. rort, who returned irom a trip to- tho eastern part of the state Sat nrdny reports fair looking crops in that section. He closed several land deals while absent Yesterday morning's rain waB gladly welcomed and it very much revived the corn which had began to curl and droop.

Tho Patterson stock of goods at Wallace is again in the hands of Sheriff Baker, the replevin failing to R'ick on account of tho failure of Hammond the purchaser of the stock to give bond-: in the sum of 811,000. The goods will probably be sold at auction. The dust which for several days past had been blowing from the newly graded roads, much to the annoyance and inconvenience 01 housewives, was knocked out by the rain yesterday. Now that these roads ire settled by the raiu the dust will not be so bad in the future. Mrs. G.F. Wilson returned Monday. from the central part of the state and .will remain in town this week.

Shaw and Messrs, Scull and Doolittle, of Walker precinct, were in town Monday and the former made this office a pleasant call.

Peter Burke, who for a number of .years has resided on his ranch e in Fron tier county, and who last spring bought the Burke home ranch at Cottonwood, was in town Monday. He and bis fam ily will soon reside at Cottonwood, and will then be counted among Lincoln county residents. John Burke, who has been at the home ranch for several years, will, we understand, take charge of a cattle feeding farm in Sarpy county. North Platte horses will be entered in the races of the Nebraska Breeders' Association to be held at Omaha next month as follows: "Paddy" in the three minute pace, "Little Moak" in the three raiaute trotting, "Scott M." in the 1891 foal trotting, "Miss Hawley" and "Little Wilkes" in the 1891 foal pacing and "McGintv" in the 2:22 pacing race. These horses are all owned by M. C. 'Keith. It took nineteen gallons of ice cream and a wagon load of cakes to supply the denands of those who attended the social given at the Pacific hotel Tours day evening by the Women's A. P. A. This does not imply that those attend ing were gourmands, it simply indicates that there was a great crowd of people present The dining room was taste fully decorated with flags, and red, white and blue bunting bunting was so draped as to form the initials "W. A. P. A." During the evening a literary program was readered, including a paper on the objects and aims of the association. The social was a successful one throughout a titr -wy a 1 unas. jveen nas opened a- gun and repair shop in tho Baker building on Front street Rev. E. Smith, of Gibbon, former M, E. pastor in this tsity, is attending the ministerial association. He is warmly greeted by his many friends.

Isaac Dillon is erecting a large barn on his j) remises on the north side to take the place of the one burned last April. "Doc." Pulver is doing the carpenter work. James Bel ton has received lately large variety of fancy rockers of cheap and medium grades. Having disposed of bis stock of dry- goods in this city Mr. Friedman, accom panied by the gentleman who had been managing the store, left for tho east this morning. During the past week the commis sioners have continued the work of mak ing semi-annual settlement with treas urer Clark. They will probably complete the work this week. The greatest bargain in centre tables can be had at James Belton's. He sells a 24x21 two shelf solid oak table for $3.50. Domestic infelicity exists in at least two households in North Platte, and the parties directly co ncerned will probably obtain a decree of divorce at the next term of district court. A number of residents of Miller precinct met at the school bouse a few evenings ago to discuss tho question of irrigation. Several plans wore sub mitted but no definite action taken. -Dr. A. B. Ayres, formerly of this city, is reported having excellent business in Boston, his father-in-law having pur chased for him a well equipped office with a lucrative practice attached. -Those cheap bedroom suits aro sell ing rapidly at James Beltona. New styles are constantly cominjr in. During the storm yesterday morn ing a house in the extreme southeast part of town was struck by lightning, a small patch of the roof being torn off. The inmates were somewhat jarred but I not injured. i inquiries irom nnancial hrms con cerning tho electric light bonds continue to come, and it is likely there will bo a dozen or more bidders for the same. The city clerk has prepared a circular giving a history of the bonds and the fi nancial condition of tho city. County Judge Ray is quite an ad mirer of flowers, and a handsome bouquet invariably gracos his desk. Tho sight of these flowers are supposed to have a softening influence on the hearts of some of the hardened sinners who are occas ionally brought up beforo his honor. Don't fill your house with dust when you can buy one of those carpet sweepers at James Belton's. George Smith, hailing from Paxton, was arrested Monday on tho charge of stealing a coat from Mar Einstein. Ho had hi hearing yesterday in Judge Riy's court and being found guilty by a jury was fined twenty-five dollars and costs, in default of which ho languishes in jail. A break in the dam at tho head of i the irrigation ditch occurred a week or ! so ago and for several days the ditch was nearly dry. On Wednesday a num ber of farmers living along the canal went up to tho dam and repaired it with bags of sand and tho wator is now run ning as usual. E. J. Huntington, now living at Brady Island, was notified yesterday to appear before the surrogate of Onondaga county, New York, at the probating of a will in which he is named as one of the legatees. It is said that the estate left is a very valuable one and that Mr. Huntington will get quite a slice. On Friday last train No. 2, with eight cars, made the run from Cheyenne to North Platte, a distance of 225 miles, in four hours and thirty-five minutes. Thirty-two minutes wero consumed in making stops at tho several stations; thus reducing the nctual time to 242 minutes. Conductor Zeibcrt says that at intervals a seventy-mile per hour gait was made. Those who havo witnessed tho re hearsals of the Grecian drill claim that it will prove to be the prettiest enter tainment ever given in the city. Under Miss Farneswortb's instructions, the young ladies taking part havo reached a state of perfection in their Delsartean posing and gestures. In addition to the drill there are several othor features which will prove very entertaining. Morris Fowler and Miss Alice Vernon wero married at Boone, Iowa, on the 12tb inst, and after the ceremony started east on a wedding tour.. They are a very worthy young couple and justly popular with a large circle of friends in North Platte, Mr. and Mrs, Fowler aro expected to arrive in town about the first of August, and will be warmly welcomed by hosts of well-wishing people. J. L. McAllister, who livos in this county just north of Maywood, was in town yesterday and asked in regard to crops said corn had not suffered much for want of rain and with favorable weather in tho future would make a big crop. One farmer iu his section had cut a sixty-acre field of winterjlwheat which be thought would average fifteen bushels to the acre, and there were many other fields which would yield almost as much. It is said that the stockholders con template making some needed improve ments to the cemetery, among which is the building of a fence to replace theone burned last spring. Several hundred dollars could be judiciously expended in making the cemetery look respectable if not beautiful. It can now be considered ono of the roost desolate looking places in the country, and we trust the reported improvements will be speedily made. Thursday afternoon the long-talked-of bombardment took place for the pur pose of drowningout the ground squirrels. The powder purchased was taken to the open country southeast of town and there exploded, but without the wished for effect. Instead, we notice that in a little while what few clouds were gathered in the earlier part of the day "folded their teats like the Arabs and silently stole away," leaving tbay an unbroken field of blue. We understand W.R. Scott adjusted his financial matters and opened his saloon Thursday morning. J. W.

One ot the con testants displayed bis skill in North Platte last spring. W. S. Vaughan expected to start out with bis threshing outfit this morning, making a tour of tho farms on the south side.

Stevens, Mr. Slack occupying his recently acquired proporty on Fifth street and Mr. Baker his new residence west of the Presbyterian parsonage. Trade is somewhat quiet in town out jess complaints are made by mer- chauts than formerly. Everyone realizes that business is slack the country over and the condition in North Platte is better than in a majority of Nebraska towns. A lex. Adams contemplates a trip to Colorado about the first of the month, the object of the trip being a visit to J. E. Edwards and the inhaling of tho bracing mountain air, which never fail to invigorate a person. The Tribune wishes him a pleasant trip. - Rev. Derryborry occupied tho pul pit last Sunday.

Sapp was arrested in Wellfleet and Sher iff Baker left for that place last night, and returned at noon accompanied by Sapp. The latter claims Unit be sup posed he had a balance in the Wallaco bank, else he would not have given the check. Mr. Sapp will probably bo able prove that he was not guilty of attempt ing to defraud. Leaving Colorado. The closing down of silver mi Colorado together with the'generaljp ness in business which prevails ia that state has thrown a large number of men out of employment, and they are lcavisp; for the east by tho hundred?. On Sua- day morning a freight tram pulled iate this city having on board over one bua- tired men who wero going east in search of work, finding it impossitilo to inakea living in Colorado. These men were Bet of the tramp variety, a majority of th being intelligent looking fellows and. la?: eluded tradesmen of all kinds. The rauroad company had givon then, per-t mission to ride on the freight trains, probably knowing that otherwise the) men would probably take forcible possea? sion. At this station tho men took up a; collection among themselves iiad the amount, about ten dollars, was invested' in provender for tho entire crowd.

The drouth which has been suffici- enuy proiracieci to endanger me corn crop has caused much anxiety among the farmers and business men of Lincoln county, and as a last resort an attempt to produco rain by tho explosion of dyna mito will bo made. On Saturday even ing Mayor Warner, at the request of ft number of citizens, called a meeting and tho matter was thorpugh.Iy diecyssviii. It was shown that at a majority of the places where tho experiment had been made, the efforts wore rewarded by a copious fall of rain. The meeting recommended the purchase of 2,000 pounds of dynamite, and appointed a committee to wait on tho couuty com missioners and solicit an appropriation of county funds to meet the oxpenssr This committee had a conference with the commissioners Monday and the members of the board recogmzia& tho condition of the crops and that anything that might aid in producing rain should be encouraged promptly, agreecl that they would appropriate sufficient money to purchase 2,000 pounds of dyaamite. It is tho intention to have this fired at several points in the county, navely) Wallace, Sutherland and on Ihe-iiilla north and south of town. A telegraph order was at once Jpot.te C. P.

The weather tho past week has not been very favorable for ducks. Alex Lewis, or his ghost, from down near Willard, cast a shadow in these parts recently. There is a flying report that the clos ing of the Colorado silver mines was the cause of the change in the mercantile business at Hershey. During the absence of C. S. Trovillo and family on their eastern visit L. E. Jones will be chief cook and general manager at their home. Mrs. R. Brown attended the funeral of her friend Mrs. Hattie Diener at North Platte Friday afternoon. Contractors are bidding seventy-five cents per ton for standing hay which goes to show that they anticipate a good hay market the coming season. Several new self binders have been brought into this locality lately. J. W. Liles has a new Empire, Chas. Tollion and brother Frank and Mr. Gibson each a new Deering and Win. Winters a new Buckeye. The fall wheat crop in this vicinity which was harvested last week with but fow exceptions is more than an average crop in both quantity and quality. James McKee and family have decided to remove to Wayne county, Ohio. Mrs. McKee and children expected to leave for there yesterday. Jim will remain a couplo of weeks and then go through with an emigrant car, taking a number of horses, etc. They will not tako any household utensils, having disposed of them.

In this respect Tins, stato must be awarded, the champion ship medal, as a brief inspection of any list of names of places will show.

They are El Dorado, Fres no, lnyo, Mendocino, Mono, Sacramento, ban iienito, San Bernardino, San Diego, ban iranclsco, San Luis Obispo, San Mateo, Solano and Yolo. It i3 to be ob served that only a portion of these axe. named from masculine saints in the Spanish calendar, Fresno, Inyo, Mono, Solanp and others being presumably In dian names, though the termination may havo been put on by the early Spanish settlers. When we come to towns in California whose names end in o, their namo ia legion. There are, among others, Acampo, Alamo, Bernardo, Bianco, Cah to, Capistrano, Decoto, Echo, El Casco, Fruto, Igo, Jacinto, Largo, Llano, Milot Moreno, Navarro, Nicasio, OnQ, Paler mo, Philo, Rialto, Sausalite, Tropico, Venado and Yolcano. In tho compilation of this imperfect catalogno the towns and cities named for saints have been omitted, as tha list would be entirely too long, running from San Antonio through most of the letters of tho alphabet to.
